A Celebration of what would have been her 97th Birthday is being planned for July 27th.
Ida Elizabeth Sando (nee Stabile), age 96, passed away peacefully on June 22, 2011 at Hospice of New Jersey, St Joseph’s Wayne General Hospital, surrounded by her loving family.
Ida grew up in Newark, NJ and met her late husband, Peter Sando Sr., while working at a W.T. Grant Luncheonette. Peter enjoyed a successful executive career at Grant’s, and eventually opened his own restaurant, The Copper Hood, in Lyndhurst NJ, where he and Ida worked together. They were happily married for 47 years before his passing in 1983. After that, she resided with her daughter Tonita in Bayonne and Spring Lake, NJ.
Ida was a life-long NY Yankee fan, attending Yankee Stadium frequently. Her last visit was just this year at age 96 (12-4 Yankees). She often spoke of seeing Babe Ruth when she was a child, actually pointing to the spot in the stands where he would subsequently hit his home run.
She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. The joy, humor, generosity and love that she gave to her family throughout her long life will be greatly missed. She is survived by her two daughters, Tonita Conaghan and her husband Patrick of Spring Lake, NJ, Teresa Waters and her husband Conrad of Fairfax, VA, her son, Peter Sando Jr. and his wife Wenke Taule of Ringwood, NJ; her four grandchildren, Laurie Waters, Britt Sando and her husband Jeff Novotny, Breeze and Bliss Sando; three great-grandchildren, Ky, Chell, and Wren Novotny; and three step-grandchildren, Susan McCusker and her husband William, Robert Conaghan and his wife Elizabeth, Megan Conaghan, and five great-step-grandchildren.
